Reindeer have become a key part of Christmas traditions, mostly because of their connection with Santa Claus and his flying sleigh. This popular association began with the 1823 poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (commonly known as “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”) by Clement Clarke Moore, where Santa’s sleigh is pulled by reindeer. Now, 2024 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold Christmas Reindeer Coins are available from BullionMax.

Moore’s poem introduced us to eight reindeer: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. Rudolph, the famous red-nosed reindeer, was added later in 1939 by Robert L. May for a Montgomery Ward booklet. The choice of reindeer makes sense, as they’re linked to the cold climates of the Arctic, where they’ve been used by people for transportation.

Each 2024 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold Christmas Reindeer Coin is housed in a special capsule, making it a perfect gift for the holiday season. This coin is one of the smallest gold coins available, but its Christmas-themed design still makes it stand out as a unique gift option.

The obverse of the 2024 Proof Congo Gold Christmas Reindeer Coin displays the coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This design includes a spade-shaped shield with a lion in profile and is flanked by elephants.

On the reverse, the 2024 1/2 Gram Proof Gold Christmas Reindeer Coin shows a beloved reindeer with its iconic red nose. The scene includes a snowy landscape with pine trees and hills in the background.
